Portis concerns

Unconcerned about Portis' size. He averages 1500 yds a season, and 5.5 yards per carry. I have no doubt that Gibbs will run his share of 50 gut, and counter treys, but I also know that by now Gibbs knows what Portis' best plays were in Denver and will probably install a couple of them here.

Gibbs' best quality is his adaptability. True he's always had a power back, but he's also been very clever at adjusting what he does to suit his talent. Laugh now, but I really think Ladell Betts is going to have a monster year in short yardage situations. Early last season he was solid in goal line situations, and if we do hit 4th and 1 believe me Gibbs will find the play to get it done.

On the 2k5 tip, I ran for 205 yards versus the Eagles with Portis, I can't wait for the HOF game to see him for real, even if its just one or two carries.
